I have been using Firefox for many years now and really like it, now the version 4 is extremely slow, anyone else having the same issue?

I upgraded to version 4 last week and find it extremely slow compared to the previous version - like so slow that some pages do not even load. I have downloaded and gone back to version 3.6.17 and everything is back to the normal I have known for years with Firefox and it is really fast again...so now I know that there is nothing wrong with my computer and that the supposedly very very fast version 4 is much much slower than the previous version 3.6...so what gives? I'm not keen on going back to the new improved version 4, though I know it will not be supported soon...anyone else having the same issue?

Having the exact same problem here.

-Mac OSX -3.6 worked great -I tried the 4 beta, got rid of it because it was so slow -When it upgraded to 4 is VERY slow and freezes often -Appears especially slow on sites with flash (ie http://www.bbc.co.uk/news)

Same problem here. Unbelievably slow work on Firefox 4, almost every time when I open new page Firefox freezes for like a second or two. I uninstalled Firefox from my netbook, because browsing on slower systems is punishment =)
